What are the costs of selling my home in Houston Texas?

Many homeowners who are selling their property, particularly first-time sellers, are unaware that there are costs associated with selling their home. At Maven Real Estate Advisors, our agents are transparent with clients, in order to avoid any confusion or financial hiccups during the home-selling process.

Real Estate Commissions:

In Texas, it’s customary that the seller pays all the agent commission fees. The listing broker will usually get 6% of the final sales price of the home. The buyer’s agent is typically entitled to half of that. The rate is negotiable, of course. Though, lowering the fee percentage compensation for the buyer's agent can cause your home to be less competitive on the market. You'll pay these fees at closing, and they are deducted from the proceeds.
